In Warren County, sheriff's sales happen at the Warren County Courthouse Annex, 199 Hardwick Street in Belvidere, and they begin at 2:00 p.m. The Sheriff's Office points out that a sale is not always held on the advertised date because of adjournments, settlements or bankruptcies. Before a home gets to the Annex, the lender has to work through the New Jersey court process.
No obligation. We respond within 24 hours.
Warren County homes range from older Phillipsburg streets to rural properties on wells and septic. Kaizen's county notes list aging Phillipsburg housing, drainage on rolling terrain and rural well and septic among local issues. This guide walks through the state steps, the Warren County sale rules, free mediation and where a cash as-is sale fits. It is general information, not legal advice.
The lender must send a notice before filing in court. The court says it names the reason, the amount to cure, your right to sell or transfer title, and mediation. You have 30 days from receipt to cure or request mediation. If the notice is missing, call your servicer and speak with an attorney.
The court's packet says mediation is free. It applies to a primary residence with one to four units, and every borrower must request it. A trained counselor from the New Jersey Housing & Mortgage Finance Agency is required, at 609-278-7508, at no cost. Mediation does not stop the case by itself.
After the notice period, the lender may file its complaint and a lis pendens. The court says the defendant has 35 days to answer. Without an answer, the case is uncontested and stays with the Office of Foreclosure. A foreclosure attorney can explain what an answer would involve.
Warren County says properties are advertised in two newspaper publications before the initial sale date, one being the Daily Record for four consecutive Fridays. Notices are also posted at the Sheriff's Office and on its website. Check both, and call (908) 475-6309 to confirm that a sale is still on.
A winning bidder posts a 20% deposit by certified cashier's or treasurer's check at the close of the sale. The office does not accept cash, personal checks, credit cards or a bank's letter on a line of credit. The balance is due in 10 days, with statutory interest from the 11th day.
Kaizen's notes mention aging Phillipsburg housing and rural well and septic. A bidder or buyer will price in a failing septic system, a wet basement or an old roof. If you plan to sell first, get a contractor's look at the big-ticket items so you can set a realistic price.

The court's mediation packet says to retain a trained foreclosure prevention and default mitigation counselor through this line. The assistance is free.
Official pageA Warren County owner can try mediation or a loan modification, list the home, or sell it for cash. A listing may work well for a house in good order near Hackettstown or Lopatcong if there are months before a sale date. An older Phillipsburg house or a rural property with well and septic questions can stall at inspection, and each delay shortens your time.
Kaizen buys as is for cash, so the septic system, the roof and the clutter stay our problem. We send an offer within 24 hours of getting the details, with no repairs and no agent commission, and we close in 14 to 30 days or on the date you choose. Whether it works before the sale depends on the payoff and the calendar. Call 267-329-0084 and loop in your attorney.

Yes. The Sheriff's Office says a sale is sometimes not conducted on the advertised date because of adjournments, settlements or bankruptcies. Check the website or call (908) 475-6309 to confirm.
The county says the property can be redeemed by the owner for 10 calendar days from the date of the sale. The court page describes the same 10-day window. Redemption usually means paying what is owed, so talk to an attorney.
Kaizen makes as-is cash offers with no repairs and no agent commission, so the septic system does not need to be fixed first. Kaizen's county notes list rural well and septic as local issues, and the offer reflects the property. Timing before a sheriff's sale depends on the payoff and calendar.
